Manager Effectiveness Blueprint

Identify the challenges

Today’s managers face a myriad of challenges: improving customer experience while overseeing a growing number of employees, reducing labor costs and turnover, implementing new technologies across a multi-generational workforce, and managing teams across many locations.

Understand, quantify, improve

Our Manager Effectiveness Blueprint helps you identify and realize improved performance in your operations through a quantitative and qualitative view of the current state of your management teams. First, we assess the current state of productivity by capturing data on key management activities through a combination of direct observation and manager interviews. That way, we can compare perceived impact of time spent on various areas (gathered from interviews) with measured impact (from first-hand
observation). Then, we develop journey maps for management groups, identifying areas for improvement across operations. Once we’ve prioritized improvement areas, we equip your managers with performance tools and processes required to lead high-performing teams and reach peak performance.
